A suggestion by a reader to help those needing help in the storm One resident, who will go unnamed, had been living on crackers and water for three days, hesitant to ask for help. Fortunately, he didn't have to. A Good Samaritan in. All came out well, but it's a example of how sometimes, one's desires not to be a bother causes those alone to ask for help. It has to be offered. Good Samaritans sometimes have to be proactive Need help: Having trouble finding someone to push your drive? Get you medicine? Get groceries or firewood or kerosene. Maybe we get the word out for you. Just yesterday, we learned of a situation which could be occurring more than we'd imagine. An Adair Countian of means - but with special dietary needs - was at home and had been living on crackers and water for three days. A relative had a friend check and the friend found that a problem existed. The Good Samaritan was able to keep a hot meal and groceries, clear the man's drive, even help him get to his place of business. A suggestion for what we can do This morning we received a suggestion which might help in such situations: "Why don't you ask that people who are needing medicine and groceries and have no way to get out, let others know by posting it on ColumbiaMagazine? " The reader said that the Adair County Search & Rescue Squad is doing heroic work, but there is still a lot of need. She said that while most state roads are clear, the task has been overwhelming for some of the side roads and private roads and maybe a few in town. She suggested that everyone think of their neighbors, and find some way to check on them. If you have a need, a general one or a specific one, send using the contact form with this item, or just call 270-250-2730. As the reader said, "I know people will do all they can. That's the way Adair County people are. We just need to make it easier for them." This story was posted on 2015-02-20 11:25:55
